The 2006 Women's Hockey Intercontinental Cup was the seventh edition of the women's field hockey tournament. The event was held from 25 AprilâÂÂ6 May, in Rome, Italy.
England won the tournament for the second time after defeating South Korea 2âÂÂ1 in the final. Japan finished in third place, defeating the United States 4âÂÂ1.
The tournament served as a qualifier for the 2006 FIH World Cup in Madrid, with the top five teams qualifying automatically.
Except for Africa, all other four confederations received quotas for teams to participate allocated by the International Hockey Federation based upon the FIH World Rankings. Those teams participated at their respective continental championships but could not qualify through it, and they received the chance to qualify through this tournament based on the final ranking at each competition.
